woke up very early in the morning. we are supposed to wake up by 6plus? thats early. i dont wake up so early if i am at home and i cant even sleep in peace in that hotel bed. hoping to be home soon. suddenl miss my home. sob. but im not gonna miss out all the funs i will have in beijing!

I woke up and went to eat at the same old place. oh did i say the food was delicious the previous day. yeah. but we had the same old food again!! arent you bored eating the same food for breakfast again. anyway. my cousins brother and i just found a place and settle down before eating quiickly so we will not be late to meet the rest again. We exchanged food here and there and i shared soya bean milk with my cousin joan. we had to put alot alot sugar inside. sooner or later we will have disbities. touchwood. can you imagine putting three packets inside. but if we do not put so many, the soya bean taste so bland!

soon we went up the hotel to let whatever was inside us out inside the toilet and rushed down to meet the rest. today first mission in the morning was to go and take a ride in a trishaw! We took our bus ride to hutong(a place like village where people lived and went to the market in).

When we reached there, joan and me took one trishaw ourselves. if i am not wrong, my trishaw number is 27? not really sure. Then the cold wind went pass us and we covered our mouth with our scarf so it wont feel cold. The worst is i can feel that i have little flu already. so i covered myself up like a popiah. The two of us chatter non stop and was thinking bout how the trishar rider have so much strength to push his bicycle. They have to ride a bicycle to control the whole thing. terrible thng for them. then we stopped at a market and walked around there. We had to really be careful for our valuables before some theives steal them. The market there is somehow alike to some of our markets in singapore just that they sell more things like electronic devices. It was nice to see the prices there you know. cause they are real cheap compared to singapore. somehow, i really feel like getting out of here and go to the trishaw again cause there were many people pushing here and there. horrible. feel like being squeezed.

Soon me and joan were in the trishaws again. The rider held us and helped us up. Then we talked again and again. The rider then stared at us and smiled. He might think the way we talked is very wierd. sometimes he talked to us, we dont even understand him because it is too slang. Then me and joan sang as we went by. It was really very fun as the cool breeze pass by us. We saw a lot aunties pushing their trolleys to market. it was very early so i assume they were going to the market.

Then we stopped at somewhere and took photos of the trishaws and scenery there. it was really refreshing there in the early morning. Then heard from my aunties that they dont understand what the others say. thats one thing we will nto get clear of in beinjing.. Soon, we had to leave the trishaws. My mom passed me and joan ten rmb to give the rider as a tips for riding us. So at the end we passed them to the rider. Joan passed to me and the rider kept starring at me. Was it cause i did not pay. dont know already and dont care.

after that we went to somewhere whicch talks about fengshui. It was boring as this kind of talk is only for adults. Then we had to walked a very long way to reached out bus. i saw a man not wearing any tops on the street begging for money. wOaH. thats amazing okay. He WAS NOT WEARING ANYTHING. believe it or not. thats what i saw. hes really pathetic. i tried not to looked at him before i cry. feel like giving him money but all the money is with my mom.my cousins and brother and i were really shocked by thsi guy.

After that we went to eat dumplings. And our tour guide told us a joke. its that 2 dumplings got married one day. at night the male dumplings went to the room and saw a chump of pork on his bed. Then he asked it " where you bring my wife too. why are u here." then the pork replied " u stupid, i took off my clothes and u dont recgonise me." thats the joke. get it? ok. so we went to eat there at one hotel where they sell dumplings. well after that lunch, i was scared of dumplings already. scaryy..~ imgaine one lunch full of dumplings. Then toilet break, joan and xinkai fought. They were quareeling of something. its usual for sister and brother to fought right? ya.

We went to a place to taste teas later and the sales keep pestering us to buy them. its really irritating. though i feel like buying, but its best to safe money.. the teas there are quite nice ok.

After that we went to summer palace. actually i have no idea whats its about. There were things like for emperors all those. We wakled around and around. it was boring.. nothing special. just normal olden days palace. haiss.] then finally we were off to pearl factory. not much happen also. just pearl factory. dont like pearl that much. just that we must listen to the people talking but my dad went to walked himself. one bad habit [ always walked away himself and make us find for him everywher. ] very dangeours.

soon, we were off to have our dinner and we went to wan fu jing. the biggest shopping centre in beijing. we went at 6 plus and was allowed to shop till 9 plus. then me and joan hold hand so as not to get lose. you know. thats a very big place. then we went to shop and there was a huge varity of place to go. joan and me wanted to go shop for clothes but we just followed the adults before we were lost. Then we bought a wilberpan album cause it was very cheap at there yu know. We went everywhere to find places where got sell cds we want as there is veri cheap compared to singapore. after that we went to bough kfc and saw xiaoyun our tour guide inside there talking.

we bought kfc back the hotel to eat! heex. we drank a cup of coke. its long since we drink cold thing. we have being drinking tea for so long. after that me and joan sneaked to the watson. its different from singapore actually. Then it was time to go.. we went to meet xiaoyun. we went to the nearby streets to eat some food. my dad bought the icecreamcake. seems like he really becoming a kid. joan and me oso went to bought the icecreamcake. i forgot what it is called already. it have icecream toppings on top of [you tiao]. its really delicious! yummmmy! Then they bought goat meat. aiyo. eaten my meat. anyway i eat it too.. delicous! Then we quickly run inside the bus as its cold , even colder in night.

When we reached the hotel, joan ah ball my brother and i went inside one hotel room and we went to eat the kfc we bought. the chicken is so small.. different from singapore. then we took money from adults and guess what. my brother joan and me went washing hair. we asked my dad to followed us out the hotel cause its not safe to went out the three of us. we still must walked a distance from the hotel. When we went in, my brother keep saying the guy look like gay. WoaH. they scratch our head until very very hard. then the person who washed for me is very cute and good. she then asked me about singapore. she knew our parents and all the adults from our tour grp went to washed hair the previous day. its us the teengaers day. hahx. then one of the member came and highlight her hair. its cheaper here.

Then after washing. the three of us went ouside walked walked. there was not much people. onli air. we blew out air again as its cold. then my dad came and we bought some fruits back the hotel. its good to eat fruits to prevent illness but whats the point. i was getting sick!! arhh!

when we went back the hotel, we were tired. it was about 11 or 12 plus. then we continued playing dai dee untill veri late befor we fall to our bed and slpet..
